יְשֻׂשׂוּם מִדְבָּר וְצִיָּה וְתָגֵל עֲרָבָה וְתִפְרַח כַּחֲבַצָּלֶת׃   35:1

Isai. 35:1   The wilderness shall be glad,

                             and the desert,

                    and the barren plain shall rejoice,

                             and bloom like a rose.

פָּרֹחַ תִּפְרַח וְתָגֵל אַף גִּילַת וְרַןֵּן כְּבֹוד הַלְּבָנֹון נִתַּן־לָהּ הֲדַר הַכַּרְמֶל וְהַשָּׁרֹון הֵמָּה יִרְאוּ כְבֹוד־יְהוָה   35:2 הֲדַר אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃

Isai. 35:2   Abundantly shall it blossom and rejoice,

                             with joy and singing.

                    He gives the glory of Lebanon to it,

                              the beauty of Carmel and of Sharon.

                    They shall experience the glory of the Lord,

                              the excellence of our God.

חַזְּקוּ יָדַיִם רָפֹות וּבִרְכַּיִם כֹּשְׁלֹות אַמֵּצוּ׃   35:3

Isai. 35:3   Strengthen the hands of the weak,

                              and make firm the tottering knees!

אִמְרוּ לְנִמְהֲרֵי־לֵב חִזְקוּ אַל־תִּירָאוּ הִנֵּה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם נָקָם יָבֹוא גְּמוּל אֱלֹהִים הוּא יָבֹוא וְיֹשַׁעֲכֶם׃   35:4

Isai. 35:4   Say to the fearful of heart,

                             "Be strong! Do not fear!

                    Behold, your God shall come avenging."

                             An act of God, He will come

                    and be your Savior.

אָז תִּפָּקַחְנָה עֵינֵי עִוְרִים וְאָזְנֵי חֵרְשִׁים תִּפָּתַחְנָה׃   35:5

Isai. 35:5   Then shall the eyes of the blind open,

                              and the ears of the deaf unstop.

אָז יְדַלֵּג כָּאַיָּל פִּסֵּחַ וְתָרֹן לְשֹׁון אִלֵּם כִּי־נִבְקְעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר מַיִם וּנְחָלִים בָּעֲרָבָה׃   35:6

Isai. 35:6   Then the lame one shall leap like a hart,

                              and the tongue of the dumb one shall sing,

                    when water is breaking out in the wilderness,

                              and streams in the sterile plain,

וְהָיָה הַשָּׁרָב לַאֲגַם וְצִמָּאֹון לְמַבּוּעֵי מָיִם בִּנְוֵה תַנִּים רִבְצָהּ חָצִיר לְקָנֶה וָגֹמֶא׃   35:7

Isai. 35:7   so the parched land shall become as a pool,

                              and the thirsty land as springs of water.

                   Within the habitat of jackals, a resting place,

                              a grassland for reeds and rushes.

וְהָיָה־שָׁם מַסְלוּל וָדֶרֶךְ וְדֶרֶךְ הַקֹּדֶשׁ יִקָּרֵא לָהּ לֹא־יַעַבְרֶנּוּ טָמֵא וְהוּא־לָמֹו הֹלֵךְ דֶּרֶךְ וֶאֱוִילִים לֹא   35:8 יִתְעוּ׃

Isai. 35:8   And there shall be a highway and a road,

                              and it shall be called the Holy Way.

                    Unclean ones shall not pass on it,

                              but it shall be for them who travel through;

                    even fools shall not go astray.

לֹא־יִהְיֶה שָׁם אַרְיֵה וּפְרִיץ חַיֹּות בַּל־יַעֲלֶנָּה לֹא תִמָּצֵא שָׁם וְהָלְכוּ גְּאוּלִים׃   35:9

Isai. 35:9   There shall not be any lion there,

                             and of the ravenous of beasts,

                    none shall rise up on it.

                              It shall not be found there,

                    so the redeemed can walk.

וּפְדוּיֵי יְהוָה יְשֻׁבוּן וּבָאוּ צִיֹּון בְּרִנָּה וְשִׂמְחַת עֹולָם עַל־רֹאשָׁם שָׂשֹׂון וְשִׂמְחָה יַשִּׂיגוּ וְנָסוּ יָגֹון   35:10 וַאֲנָחָה׃

Isai. 35:10   And the preserved of the Lord shall return,

                              and they shall enter Zion singing,

                      with joy everlasting on their heads.

                              Gladness and joy shall be attained,

                      and grief and groaning shall vanish.
